Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Final Project- Topic 3
Write a series of 3 or 4 (depending on the number of people in your group) journal entries that one of the characters in the book might have written in his or her own journal. Make sure that the voice of the character is evident.
This project must be original and creative, organized, and must truly show your knowledge of the characters and the content from the novel. Make sure to be “in character” in the journals and to use dialect like that of the Logan family. After everyone has written one journal, you will choose one that will be presented to the class. (You will still turn all four copies). You will use GarageBand, iMovie, etc. to record yourself reading the journal. You may want to add pictures, music, etc. to help the class truly feel what the character is feeling. Again, make sure you stay in character.
You will use your wikispaces account to create a wiki where your group will be able to collaborate and add information for the final product. You can organize your script on the wiki.
There is a rubric on the back of this sheet explaining how the final product will be graded. You will have some time in class to work on the project, but you must spend time at home researching and planning. You can add the information you find at home to your wiki, where your group can easily access and edit the information.
Mrs. Michael or Mrs. Fritts will meet with your group individually to further discuss requirements and your plans for this project.
Cammy: I think we should have our journals for Stacey, Cassie, Christophor-John, and Little Man.
nathan:i think mabe we all write one over the same person then we make one really good one over that person sence we only need to prasent one
caroline: I think each person should do Stacey, another Cassie, another little man, and another Christaphor John. Because I think those would be the easiest.
nathan: we could do the same thing just we do it on two diffrent people then the best one we will present
